Spicy Chicken Wings
-------------------
8 Large chicken wings (trimmed)
1"/2.5cm piece of fresh ginger (grated)
2 Large cloves of garlic (mashed to a paste with a little salt)
2 Teaspoons of cumin seeds (comino)
2"/5cm stick of cinnamon
1 Teaspoon of black peppercorns
1 Teaspoon of tomato paste
1 Lemon (juice of)
2 Tablespoons of extra virgen olive oil
2 Tablespoons of honey [I'd reduce or cut this out]
2 Small red chillies
Salt to taste
First dry roast the cumin seeds, cinnamon, black peppercorns and chillies
in a pan and grind them together in a pestle and mortar.
Place the spices and all the other marinade ingredients in a large glass
bowl, mix well an add the chicken wings, coating them well all over with
the marinade.
Leave them to marinate for at least an hour (two or three would be even
better).
Arange the chicken on a rack over a roasting tray of water.
Roast at 180ºc/370ºf for 45 minutes - turning once.
While they are cooking you can top up the water in the tray as it
evaporates.
If you want a sauce, just skim off the fat and use the juices. Put them
into a pan, bring to the boil and reduce by half.... check the seasoning
and thicken with arrowroot if desired.
